Researchers in China developed a large-scale PV-thermal heat pump system using a liquid overfeed method that reportedly improves both thermal and electrical efficiency. Field tests showed up to a 4.81 ...

The energy needed to increase the temperature of a material is measured as heat capacity, which is a structure sensitive property. Traditional differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) can readily ...

DSC is a measurement technique commonly used for the determination of specific heat capacity because of its ease of use, short measurement times and because it provides adequate accuracy. The specific ...

Chemical engineers have developed a machine-learning model that can accurately predict the heat capacity of the versatile metal-organic framework materials. The work shows that the overall energy ...

Billions of heat exchangers are in use around the world. These devices, whose purpose is to transfer heat between fluids, are ubiquitous across many commonplace applications: they appear in HVAC ...

This article is part of the TechXchange: Cool Designs. I bet everyone reading this article knows that heat pipes and vapor chambers are two-phase devices used as part of a thermal solution. But, do ...
